Riccio examines whether one test is enough in the COVID-19 pandemic It is now generally recognized that testing is critical to beating the novel coronavirus, for designing policies with long lasting effects, and allowing for the safe opening of our economy Beyond the general public health aspects of testing, most people want to know answers to several key questions No test is perfect There is always the possibility of someone without the virus testing positive, called a false positive, and there is always the possibility of someone with the virus testing negative, called a false negative The two probabilities are not only most often not equal, but they are also not necessarily related One can be high and the other low, or they both may be high or both may be low

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many college and university administrators are facing challenging decisions about when and how to reopen their campuses The Chronicle of Higher Education has been following these decisions closely and as of June 10, 2020, only 8% of colleges and universities had announced they were planning for online courses The remainder are considering strategies and contingency plans that would bring their students back to campus in the fall One fundamental trade-off in these decisions is the balance between the quality of education and the health of students, staff and faculty However, the benefits of having students engaging with their instructor and peers in the classroom are in direct conflict with the latest research on the COVID-19 pandemic, which has shown that transmission of the coronavirus is highest when people are sitting indoors for a long period and talking

Ruiz et al discuss the use of Kaggle in classrooms Kaggle is an online data science platform best known for its public machine learning competitions Since its inception in 2008, Kaggle has hosted thousands of competitions to advance research on a myriad of topics ranging from satellite imagery feature detection to COVID-19 research analysis Besides hosting these global competitions, Kaggle has grown into an expansive data science educational platform that offers full courses, an open-source dataset repository, and a feature known as Kaggle InClass competitions (KICs) These KICs are contests specifically tailored for use in an academic setting that are completely customizable by the hosting professor or teaching assistant In turn, the Kaggle platform provides a leaderboard, centralized location to access the competition data, and support for various popular code libraries
